you need two points to draw line. This equation is in slope intercept form, so you could use the y intercept as one point (0,-2) and then use the slope to move to the next point.
For me, the easiest way to plot a line is to find the two easiest points I can find. For that, I simply plug in a 0 for one coordinate and then solve for the other one.
So set y=0 and solve for x

so one point is (-2/3, 0)
Now set x=0 and solve for y

(as we already knew from intercept
The second point is (0,-2)
Plot those two and draw the line connecting them

graph linear function

find :
set

.......... is at (,)...that is one point
find :
set

.......... is at (,)...that is second point
plot these two points and draw a line through
